4 Mexican "Masher.''

The impudence and daring of some Of
these characterl.ss Mexican adventures
whom one meets in tertulias here is almost
beyond belief. During the reign Of the
late Emperor Macmillan and his poor
C~arlotta.' one OF these fellows, with ideas
more hardy aud enlarged than are usually
TO he found among such gentry, not con-
tent with having run the gauntlet of for
tune with success and impunity, nor sat
isfed with the advantages which his
youth, good looks and assurance had pro.
cured him, had actually the vanity TO i'm
agiue that his manifold attractions had
won the notice of the empress. After va.
riuus preliminary reconnoiterings with his
opera glass of the royal box at the Teatro
NacioN,l, he determined on a closer inves-
tigation. Through one OF those persons
who are only too apt 10 lend their infiu-
ence TO such abuses of royal condescension,
be requested and obtained an audience
with the empress.
On being admitted to her presence he
made a grandiloquent speech, concluding
In the oriental n by presenting to
her between his foreinger and thumb q
fragrant nosegay. Carlotta, invariably
kind and affable to every one, though
greatly ~astonished at the fellows presump-
ton, received the gift with her usual ur-
banity, not meaning 10 hurt the feelings Of
the donor. A perfumed billet, couleur de
rose, dropped from the bouquet to the car
pet. The adventurer was very thankful
to be only kicked out for his daring, but
the forbearance OF the empress emboldened
him to continue his indiscreet attentions TO
the royal box at the teatro until his con-
duct wa observed by Macmillan, who on
finding him TO he the hero OF the bouquet,
ordered him of Immediately TO the peni-
tertiary Of Belem. On the fall of the en-
pire he was released, whereupon he imme.
diately made his temperance In the ter
tulias of Mexico and was received as read
lily rs II he had just stepped out OF the
purifying waters Of the Jordan. Mexico

Up on Beaver creek, In the nation, the
other day old Otter Belt, one Of the great
est Of the Comanche chiefs, succumbed to
the grim reaper death, and IL was all In
his honor. He knew he wa going to die,
and just five minutes before he breathed
his last they held him erect and rugged the
old chief out in his best war costume.
They painted him as red rs q sunset, set
his war bonnet on his head, tied up his
hair in beaver skins, and then laid him
down just as his spirit winged its flight.
Otter Belt, while q good man for a Coman
che, was rather inclined toward the doc
trines OF Bri ham Young, only he con-
tented himself with q less number OF
wives-in fact, limited himself to five.
The way these squaws took on when the
chief was no more was q sight never to
be forgotten. Taking sharp butcher
knives, they slashed their faces with long,
deep cuts, till they were covered with
blood. They also cut themselves in other
places, and then beat their bleeding bodies
and pulled their hair, all the while utter
ing the most doleful and plaintive cries.
They then burned everything they had,
their two tepees, furniture, clothing, and
all, even the biggest part of the clothing
they wore. There was a big crowd Of
bucks present at the obsequies Of course,
and, as is the Indian fashion, they slew
ten head of horses in honor Of Otter Belts
memory. AmoEg the horses they killed
was u favorite team Of Mr.. Press Adding
ton, on whose ranch Otter Belt resided.
Press won't like il much when he hears
that his ~trOfters are dead, but when In
dams need horses for a funeral they never
stop to inquire who they belong to.-Fort
Worth Gazette.

A Walters observations.

IA waiter in q large restaurant has am
pie opportunity to study character. You
can nearly always tell what a man is by
what he eats. The man who rushcs in,
calls for a few dishes in q hurry and ap-
parently at random, bolts his food and de-
parts without speaking to any one is a
business man, course, and a busy one,
too. But it is mostly people OF leisure
that come here. The gentleman who
comes I'm with a lady and orders the waiter
around like a Turk is engaged, and the
lady is above him in social position. He
tries to make ii appear that he is well used
to that kind Of living, but IL she is half as
sharp as I am she will see through it all,
for o r gentleman is never rude 70
walters. and the man who is accustomed
to the style Of living we have here need
never be at pains to show 1t.
'0nce in a while a young man brings a
modest young lady into u place, She is
perfectly AT her ease, but he has a patron
izing way about him. They are engaged,
perhaps, but while she is worth two Of
him her social position is not SO good.
"Ill wager q dinner that ! can tell the
business OF every person who comes in
here half a dozen times. l don't know
how 1t is, but all professions have table
manners peculiar to themselves.
III think that about the easiest class Of
people to please are the professional gam
blers, Perhaps they live under such a
high pressure Of mental excitement that
they have no time to think Of the ordinary
affairs Of life. They are a pleasant set OF
fellows to deal with, too, and always treat
us walters like gentlemen. Detroit

pair of maids in pink and blue came up

KILLED ON THE ROAD.
An Italian Laborer Killed on
the Railroad.

While the town clock was striking
ten Friday morning, Carmine Lorsane,
an Italian laborer on the new West
Jersey extension, was killed by falling
between two cars, and the wheel of
one car passing over his body.
After the cars had dumped the load
of gravel out, the men jumped aboard,
and made ready for another trip. Lor-
sane, contrary to orders, sat on the
front edge of one of the cars instead of
inside. Engineer Schenck started the
engine and was soon out or the main
track. The engineer then put on his
air brakes for the purpose of stopping
the train and backing up the road.
This made jar, and Lorsane lost his
balance and fell between the cars.
His fellow laborers saw him fall and
Immediately gave the alarm. The
engineer soon stopped the moving
train, but not before one of the heavy
iron wheels had passed over the body
and one wheel was still resting on the
breast of the man. The head lay out
side Of the track while the lower por-
| tion OF his body was lying inside the
rails.
A door was taken from the West
Jersey Depot and carried to the spot
and the remains were takento one o.
| the freight rooms of the depot where
it was viewed by Coroner Bellows
who had been summoned. He could
find no marks of any kind upon the
body of the man with the exception ol
a cut upon the right hand. The
skin upon the back of the hand wa
completely torn off.
| Death was caused, the Coroner
thought. by the heavy wheel crushing
him upon the chest. A little son o.
| the man, not more than twelve years
| old, was near at hand attending to the
water bucket, when the accident hap
pened and the little fellow was nearly
crazy by the terrible blow.
All of the men refused to worl
during the remainder of the day
They willresume operations tomorrow
The man leaves a widow and littl,
boy in Italy.
The Coroner will mold an inquest or
on Monday morning in the office O
Justice Woodruff, and will summon {
jury. The body will be taken care
of and buried by the Railroad Com
pany.

James Dorgan, a mason, saved his
life recently by miraculous jump.
He was at work on the new Catholic
Church being erected on Old Bergen
road, Jersey City. The position occu-
pied by him was the most lofty on the
church, and was much higher than the
tops of any of the neighboring build
ings. While he was engaged in laying
bricks at this perilous height, he heard
sudden cracking overhead, and
glancipg up, saw that the great scaffold
on which he stood, was breaking.
Dorgan realized the danger at once,
and leaped from the tottering scaffold
to a bed of soft mortar far below him.
He landed squarely on the mortar and
sank into it to his knees. He was un-
harmed other than fright and gen
eral shaking up The scaffold fell
with crash.
